The Seahawks won a Thursday night classic over the Rams, but more importantly got a leg up in the NFC West and in the playoffs picture.

Seattle won a huge game over NFC West foe Los Angeles on Thursday night, but one of their linebackers was suspended for what he did during the game.

If these two things happen, the 49ers would finish 13-4 and win the NFC West over a 13-4 Rams team based on the division record tiebreaker. If the Seahawks also finish 13-4 in this scenario, the 49ers would have swept them, so they'd win any tiebreaker with Seattle. At 7-to-1 odds to win the NFC West, the 49ers feel like a steal.

As the number of teams competing for playoff spots begins to dwindle, those that will make field are jockeying in for top seeds.

Rams running back Kyren Williams was stopped short of the line to gain by Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe and linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence.
